Don't Cry, Tai Lake by Qiu Xiaolong

2.0

Famous but low echelon Chinese cop vacations at exclusive Comm Party resort, falls in love, solves a murder, becomes an environmentalist, all with lots of Chinese poetry thrown in. Too topical, stilted dialogue, but an ingenious mystery, clue wise. Still, you know whodunit from pretty early on. Don't know why I plowed through it.
